A Brand New Disaster

Every single day is a brand new disaster

I don’t care what you learn, or master, or burn
You can stare at the sun, or take it in turn
Or make it your wrenching unquenchable light!
The very next day is the very same sight~

You’re nothing, you’re empty, you’re shapeless, you’re plaster
Every day that you wake is a brand new disaster

Maybe you’re wiser, or faster, or famous
Maybe you lost it, or caused it so heinous
you’ve crossed to a darkness as bleak as you’ve seen

The next day’s the start of a new magic been.

There are stalks to be climbed
Giants to slay
Gooses to loose in a golden new day
Cows to be traded
Kingdoms to fall

And despite what you’ve conquered…
It’s the end of it all.

Today is your day
I don’t care who you are
A sunken wet pebble
Or bright burning star

You’re only as far and as deep as you’ve gone
In the footsteps you’ve crept on your path since the dawn
